Chapter 2

Kang Jinseok, 22 years previous,

Freeter, army service.

The place the place I grew up is ‘Cheonman Orphanage.’ It’s a small orphanage within the countryside.

In keeping with the director of the orphanage, sooner or later I used to be left in entrance of the door.

Once I first heard that, I cried a lot. I used to be jealous once I noticed different kids at college holding arms with their mother and father.

Was it once I was in my first yr of highschool? I needed to seek out my mother and father.

However nobody needed to seek out my odd mother and father who had nothing.

I made a promise again then. I wish to change into well-known.

As somebody who appeared daily on TV and social media, I attempted to seek out my mother and father someplace.

Whereas fascinated by methods to change into well-known, I don’t keep in mind why, however I got here to the conclusion that there was no different strategy to change into well-known than as an actor.

At the moment, I most likely couldn’t change into an idol trainee anymore, and I truthfully didn’t have sufficient confidence in my singing potential to go on a singing audition program.

As a result of I made a decision to take a barely completely different path than others, I dropped out of highschool.

Nonetheless, I felt like I wanted to have a highschool diploma, so I took the qualification examination, happily, my mind wasn’t that unhealthy, so I handed the check on the primary try.

From then on, I targeted on learning performing in earnest.

Since I couldn’t afford to go to a non-public academy, I simply picked up scripts obtainable on the Web, memorized no matter I might, and regarded without cost lectures.

It was enjoyable each time I memorized the script, and I assumed I might rapidly change into an actor.

However the wall of actuality was too excessive.

I used to be simply an odd aspiring actor stuffed with exhausting work and fervour.

Was it the day once I failed about 30 auditions?

I made a decision to enlist.

I used to be exempt as a result of my mother and father weren’t there, however I wanted a while to collect my ideas.

In fact, nothing a lot modified simply because I served within the army.

As a result of my ardour and earnestness solely elevated and my expertise stayed the identical.

However now, a possibility appeared in entrance of me.

Minsu smiled brightly and mentioned.

“The position my brother will play tomorrow is one thing I skilled.”

“······.”

“My brother and I had very unhealthy kidneys since we had been born. Even when he runs round just a bit bit, he will get sick all day lengthy. So he determined to get a kidney transplant from his mother.”

“A kidney out of your mom?”

“Sure. Initially, I used to be alleged to obtain the transplant, however my brother’s situation out of the blue worsened, so he acquired it first. “I died as a result of I couldn’t discover a donor.”

Minsu speaks brightly. It was such a pity that somebody might simply say one thing like that within the kind of a kid.

However I didn’t hassle to point out it. As a result of it have to be essentially the most painful reminiscence for Minsu.

Minsu continued his speech.

“I’ll allow you to once you postpone tomorrow. As a substitute, please inform my brother later.”

“To your brother?”

“Sure! They’d a tough time due to me their complete life. The residing has to reside, so now I ask you to reside fortunately and fortunately. Oh, and don’t really feel sorry for me.”

As I mentioned earlier than, I’m a busy particular person.

However I wasn’t cold-blooded sufficient to disregard this story.

“So, are you aware the place your brother lives?”

“Don’t fear about that. If I possessed you, you’ll know every little thing I do know. Ugh, it’s already time…”

“Okay. Wait a minute, Minsu! “I don’t know your brother…”

Purr.

I wakened earlier than I might ask something.

“Hey, Kang Jinseok. “Why do I really feel so weak as we speak?”

Whereas working part-time in a warehouse, a co-worker requested.

“Oh, it’s nothing particular. It’s simply that my thoughts is a bit difficult… sorry.”

“What are you sorry about? Is it due to the audition I noticed yesterday? Failed once more… Huh! finished. Let’s focus and work. “If you happen to get harm, it’s a giant drawback.”

“Sure.”

I’m fairly a celeb on the ‘Seongsu Warehouse’ the place I work.

That’s as a result of I’m the one one in my 20s right here in Seongsu Warehouse, and even excluding age, ‘aspiring actors’ will not be frequent.

‘Additionally···. ‘Right here we’re.’

I should have fallen asleep already, however once I opened my eyes I used to be within the white area the place I met the grandmother and Minsu yesterday.

As I regarded round, somebody appeared with a vibrant ray of sunshine.

“Brother! I’m glad you got here first. “If you happen to hadn’t come, I ought to have referred to as you.”

Identical to yesterday, Minsu spoke with a vibrant smile and a vibrant voice. In reality, it feels brighter than yesterday.

Though I had solely identified Minsu for a short while, I felt a way of familiarity with him, as if I had identified him for a very long time.

I smiled barely at Minsu and answered.

“Huh. “After a while, I fell asleep and located myself right here.”

“Sure! Oh. “I wasn’t in a position to say every little thing yesterday, however I have to inform you now how can I allow you to along with your performing.”

After ending talking, Minsu thought for a second and continued talking once more.

“If you act, I’ll possess my brother. However that doesn’t imply I’m fully taking up my brother’s physique, I’m simply sharing experiences.”

“Sharing your expertise? “What does that imply?”

“Hmm···. “How ought to I say this?”

Minsu crossed his arms and contemplated for a second.

It was so cute to see the little little one worrying together with his arms crossed, and I nearly smiled fortunately with out even realizing it.

However I got here to my senses and targeted on Minsu.

“Ah! If I share my expertise, it is possible for you to to know what I went by way of, how I felt on the time, and every little thing I assumed till now. “You should utilize that to behave.”

After listening thus far, I perceive just a little.

“Aha···.”

Once I first heard the phrase ‘possession,’ I used to be just a little confused. Irrespective of how good of a kid Minsu is, I’m reluctant to let anybody else enter my physique.

However I assumed it will be okay to simply accept Minsu’s experiences, feelings, and ideas.

‘Will I be capable to act correctly with these reminiscences and feelings?’

As I used to be pondering to myself, Minsu smiled and mentioned.

“Truly, there are just a few ghosts aside from me that I wish to ask for a favor! Amongst them, there was an older sister who acted… That is the strategy that the older sister taught me. “Good thought, proper?”

“Hmm… Are you a ghost who desires to ask me a favor?”

“You will see that out little by little. “There isn’t a lot but… however there might be extra sooner or later!”

After ending talking, Minsu regarded someplace for a second.

“And grandmother went to a superb place. “She mentioned she had no regrets anymore and advised me to inform brother that she was actually grateful.”

‘It’s a superb place…’

Nonetheless, it will have been good to say my last goodbye.

Whereas I used to be pondering that, Minsu’s physique was slowly disappearing.

“Now it’s time to get up! Please handle me, brother. “I’ll attempt actually exhausting!”

“Oh, sure! Minsu, we are able to meet once more…”

***

“You’ve gotten arrived, sir.”

“Ah sure. thanks.”

It’s been a very long time since I took a taxi.

I initially didn’t plan on taking a taxi, however the issue was that I fell asleep within the sauna.

‘It will have been higher than saving cash and being late for the audition.’

I entered the audition room.

Once I arrived on the ready room, I noticed a number of folks meditating with their eyes closed. The remaining few had been muttering and training their PR.

It was a well-recognized sight.

“Whoa…”

About quarter-hour later, an audition agent got here into the ready room and referred to as me.

“Applicant #1, Jinseok Kang.”

“Sure.”

I answered and approached the employees. Since I had auditioned almost 100 occasions to this point, I didn’t assume I’d be this nervous am I nervous?

My coronary heart was pounding identical to once I first auditioned.

It wasn’t due to pressure or nervousness. Nevertheless, it wasn’t pleasure.

My coronary heart is pounding proper now…

‘For some cause… I believe I’ll cross this audition.’

It was due to the arrogance I felt for the primary time.
